From a New York Times news article on Camille Cosby (which carries a Serge Kovaleski byline, suggesting that the Times has deployed one of its biggest investigative bigfoots to the Cosby story, which it has been treating with relative restraint):

In a 1998 letter to The New York Times, she complained that the newspaper's account of the crime had depicted it as an attempted robbery and omitted a racial slur the killer had used, which minimized race as a motivation. (The letter was never published.)

If Camille Cosby can't get a letter to the Times published complaining about downplaying a racial angle in coverage of her own child's killing, what hope does any mere ordinary mortal stand in trying to challenge the newspaper's coverage in its own columns?
